Th question was about syslinux, not Grub. Here is how it is done in Slint's installers when using syslinux: The config file (whose name ends in .cfg) includes this line: DISPLAY BEEP BEEP is an ASCII file, stored in the same directory, with just two characters: ^G This is the "beep" sound. When you boot you hear the beep. As an aside, if using Grub2, you'd uncomment this line in /etc/default/grub: #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" Just removing the leading # Then run: update-grub or grub-config -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg (this assumes that grub is already installed, else you'd need to run grub-install after that).
